Re: [digitalradio] YOUR TELETYPE SOUNDS FUNNY
Really? That's your response? You do realize that any answer would be purely a guess, without some information from you such as specific frequencies, times or perhaps a recording. However, in the interest in trying to be helpful, and going without any info from you other than some general frequencies, here are some possibilities. 1830kHz in the US is assigned to the Amateur Service, but in Region 3 it is assigned to the Fixed, Mobile, Radionavigation and Radiolocation Services also. You could be hearing anything there, from a military radioprinter to DGPS navigation systems. The 80m band is a shared band, depending upon the specific frequency. Let's assume you were around 3580kHz. That frequency is an amateur-only allocation in the US, but is shared with the Fixed and Mobile Services in Region 1 and 3. There are many European military stations active in these bands, so you easily could have heard one of them. Alternately, you could have some source of local interference. Without a recording, no one will likely be able to help you with any additional specific information.

[digitalradio] Re: what's the latest on WINMOR
That is correct--callsign at winlink dot org. You have to register for an email account at winlink. The email account is also accessible via web and telnet for maintenance. --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, jhaynesatalumni jhhay...@... wrote: --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, aa777888athotmaildotcom aa777888@ wrote: Just send to your Winlink account.

[digitalradio] Re: Techs on HF digital
Simply not true. While there are always idiots in any group, this phenomena isn't restricted to older ticket holders. There are just as many jerks who got their ticket last week. I was first licensed as a Novice in 1974. I taught third grade back then. Everyone else was an engineer. These guys (few women in the hobby then) for the most part were extremely helpful to me. I've taught many licensing classes from Novice to Extra. I always told my students that 95% of our fellow hams are great and will do anything to help a new person out. But, there is always that 5% that one finds in any social group who think that they have some special dispensation and should dictate what others do. To label a group old guard is just as discriminatory as the actions you are railing against. There is no old guard. There are just a few nitwits who are vocal and love for you to give them attention. They could have been licensed for 50 years or 2 weeks. Now, can some of you guys help me get started with these digital modes? LOL. Actually, I have had equipment for years starting with some TNCs back in the dark ages to work digital modes, but just made my first PSK contact two days ago. Although I have been using APRS for years and was one of the early packet users, most of the current modes are foreign to me. Be gentle with me, I have screwed up more than once trying to make everything work. Now that I have reached retirement age, I have more time to play with my toys and I'm exploring our digital modes as a way to expand my radio skills. Besides, living in an antenna restricted community, these modes give me a chance to keep up with the big boys with my more modest station.

When it gets down to it, they're pretty harmless and really just fun to watch. If you got the license, you have every right to be here as these they do. We must get beyond the technocratic caste system as it does no one any good. This practice of judging someone's character, based on what mode they do/do not use or how their call sign is formatted or worse, the class of their license, is ridiculous! We don't need quiet bands. Unless we want the bands taken away from us. Get on and operate. Be active. Explore all the aspects of this great hobby. Please, try out all these wonderful digital modes that the developers have worked so hard to provide us with to enjoy. Don't about those who claim to have, been here first. These people have low self esteem and have a need to beat down others so they'll feel good about themselves. I had deal with the old guard' when I first came in to this hobby. You know what? They all got old and died and the bands became a better place for it. We were shunned because we wanted to operate packet stations and heavens forbid, hook up a computer to it. This was the 80's and we were still living in caves then. This hobby...this thing that we do, only gets better by inclusion and and exclusion. We must welcome every new op to hobby with open arms and recognize that they are the ones who will save us from our own narrow mindedness. philw de ka1gmn On Tue, Dec 15, 2009 at 9:09 PM, Brian Denley b.den...@... wrote: You would think those 'old guard' guys would consider that we used to have to know binary and 2's complement math to use a computer at all.

Hazing or outright threatening behavior by hams licensed before Feb of 2007 is another reason new hams are not getting on the air. I went through this myself. A mentality has arisen that amateur radio is only for listening and you're never supposed to transmit. Everyone wants the bands quiet and wants the next amateur to just stop operating. --- On Tue, 12/15/09, Glenn L. Roeser hillbillietr...@...hillbillietrace%40yahoo.com wrote:

Besides, living in an antenna restricted community, these modes give me a chance to keep up with the big boys with my more modest station. The biggest place that people mess up their digital signal is to overdrive the rig and turn down the input to try to make up for it. Here's my suggestion for setting your starting point 1. Set your power to max and leave it there. 2. If you are coming in through the mic input, set it to about half gain. 3. All power adjustments are done by either changing the output level of your sound card or by placing an adjustable pad between your sound card output and the input to your radio. 4. Adjust for about 25 watts peak out. That will get you a pretty good signal. The rest is learning how each mode works.
